PRESS FOR CHANGELexington Books has always been committed to applied social science research, but in 2004 we created Press for Change to highlight a renewed emphasis on this element of our publishing program. Press for Change strives to bridge the gap between scholarship and its application, especially where scholarship has particular relevance to people’s lives. Books in this list reflect the need for practical literature in a multitude of fields including human rights, peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution, inclusive democratic dialogue, and social services and welfare. We encourage manuscript submissions that articulate a vision of social justice and provide pathways for lasting change. Lexington Books' Press for Change division is not affiliated with the U.K. lobbying organization of the same name. If you are looking for the U.K. Press for Change, click here.
